Comment by Edward Moore Geist
Historian of science and nuclear policy
The risks of self-improving intelligent machines are grossly exaggerated and ought not serve as a distraction from the existential risks we already face.

Verified via web search (URL returns 403). The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists article 'Is artificial intelligence really an existential threat to humanity?' by Edward Moore Geist (Aug 2015) exists at the source_url and contains the exact quoted text. Author attribution is correct (Geist is a historian of science/nuclear policy at Stanford CISAC). Vote 'against' on 'AI poses an existential threat to humanity' is correctly aligned: the quote and article argue AI risks are exaggerated and should not distract from existing existential risks like nuclear weapons. Year 2015 is older than 2025-2026, but the quote is a primary source statement on the topic from this author.
